CHRISTOPHER S. OGILVY, MD - BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER REVIEWS
Dr Ogilvy is a gifted neurosurgeon with an extremely talented team of medical professionals. He successfully performed a craniotomy and clipping of a large aneurysm with a partial blood clot located in my right frontal lobe. The care and follow up I received from this team was extraordinary. Anticipating this procedure was daunting. However, Dr Ogilvy explained every option and every aspect of the procedure so thoroughly that I had great confidence in the likelihood of the best possible outcome. I would not wish a brain aneurysm on anyone, but if you find yourself with this diagnosis, then this is the surgeon and team to trust with your care.
I need to echo the words of many - Dr Ogilvy is an amazing neurosurgeon, and person. He saved my life 18 months ago from a ruptured aneurysm. Was incredible with my family through a scary time in explaining and then executing the plan successfully. The ICU staff at the BIDMC was incredible during the aftercare. Amazing Dr. and staff. Thank you!

RON I. RIESENBURGER, MD - TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER NEUROSURGERY REVIEWS
I am an 86 y-o woman and recently underwent surgery for severe spinal stenosis. My quality of life had been quite restricted after a terrible fall. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Riesenberger if you are considering spine surgery. He is the best there is. Truly a gifted doctor and surgeon who cares deeply about his patients. Nine weeks post-surgery I have no pain and am able to do all I was able to do pre-fall; drive, swim, walk and easily sit without pain. It is extraordinary. I can’t thank him and his team enough. ANNE L.
Dr Riesenburger is outstanding! The pain I was in before surgery is almost completely gone. He explained everything to me in detail and eased all my worries. He really cares. Excellent bedside manner. I couldnt have found a better neurosurgeon. Thank you so much Dr Riesenburger. Now I can get to planting my little veggie garden!
Dr. Riesenburger performed spinal fusion surgery on my back three months ago. Since that time I have seen him three times, and each time he has been the model of professionalism and patience. Dr. Riesenburger carefully listened to my situation, and thoughtfully prescribed follow-up treatments. I am now happy to say that I am functioning much better than I did pre-surgery, and have Dr. Riesenburger and his staff to thank. I feel blessed to have had the chance to have Dr. Riesenburger as my surgeon. Thank you!
